Message: [QUOTE="capewind, post: 162356, member: 4510"] All excited, the pond is showing signs of life:-) I spent about 5 minutes on Thursday ripping out some of the vines that had been left in, that were a magnet for the yucky hair algae. Probably got about a third out. Sunday afternoon, hubby got the bucket (5 gallon nursery pot) running with pillow stuffing ... I just went outside to actually look at it ... yuck LOL. I need to go buy another pillow, didnt put much into the bucket, ran out, but you can see what is has already pulled out around the diffusor plate thingy...

I wanted this area FULL of it, but when I got a few clippings last summer, it was too hot. They sent out lots of runners, but the greens never did anything (except fry in the sun LOL) ...

I thought the little 3" pot of it died LOL [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww129/capewindmastiffs/Pond%20Related/DSCN6077_zps7579aec6.jpg[/IMG] and whatever this tiny grassy clump is, it decided to come back too:-) [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww129/capewindmastiffs/Pond%20Related/DSCN6081_zps9d045e58.jpg[/IMG] the mare's tail was a funny little plant. It stayed green right through the end of January before dying ... lots of new life there, with some nasty algae to go with it too LOL. [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww129/capewindmastiffs/Pond%20Related/DSCN6084_zps7c7dca51.jpg[/IMG] Not too much longer and it will be time to plant more things .... [/QUOTE]
